2. Figure 1
(A) The genomic structure of PKD1. The replicated portion of the gene begins with exon 1 and is thought to end in exon 34 (open rectangle)1. The approximate position of the two PKD1-specific LR PCR products (5′MR and 5′LR) along with the primers used to amplify them is indicated. The positions of the polypyrimidine tracts of approximately 2.5 kb and 0.5 kb, respectively, in intron 21 and 22 is identified by “… TCCT …”. (B) Predicted structure of polycystin-1. The position and identification of each pathogenic and probable mutation found in this study is as indicated. LDL, low-density lipoprotein; Ig, immunoglobulin; REJ, receptor for egg-jelly in the sperm of the sea urchin; Del, deletion; and Ins, insertion.

(A) De novo 7 bp deletion in exon 16. A DNA sequence analysis of the DA1 mutation. The mutant sequence is presented on the left beside the corresponding normal exon 16 sequence. The mutant allele has lost one of the two tandemly arrayed copies of the 7 bp sequence, GCGGTCG [square brackets]. (B) The pedigree structure of family DA1. The markers used to identify chromosome 16 haplotypes are listed in accordance with their orientation on the chromosome (top-16ptel, bottom 16pcen). The numbers below each square (male) or circle (female) indicate allelic variants at each genetic locus. The disease-associated haplotype is indicated by a rectangular box. The filled circle identifies the affected phenotype. (C) Ethidium bromide-stained 5% Nusieve agarose gel of exon 16 PCR product after digestion with restriction enzyme BsrB I. This enzyme cleaves the 294 bp product into 2 fragments of 173 and 121 bp. The 7 bp deletion of exon 16 is solely present in the single affected individual of DA1. A marker lane (M) is on the far left, adjacent to the exon 16 product of a normal, unrelated individual (NC). The order of the DA1 samples corresponds with that of the pedigree as shown in B.

The RAMA5 2 bp deletion in exon 21. The sequence of the normal individual is presented on the far left in the standard format. To highlight differences and facilitate comparisons, each lane of normal sequence was run beside the corresponding lane of mutant sequence (G to G, A to A). The mutant sequence has both the normal and mutant patterns, since it was amplified using the LR product as template. The mutant allele has deleted one of the two tandemly arrayed copies of CT present in normals.

7. Figure 5
A family with two unique missense mutations, one of which segregates with disease. (A) Pedigree structure of RAMA96. (B) NlaIII restriction digestion of exon 18. The full-length, undigested PKD1-specific exon 18 PCR product of an unaffected individual (Control 2, NC2) is 343 bp in length (lane 8) and yields fragments of 243 bp and 100 bp after NlaIII digestion (lane 7). The C7433T mutation present in RAMA96 is predicted to create a new NlaIII restriction site within the 100 bp segment that bisects it into fragments of 60 and 40 bp. Affected family members II2 and II3 have the additional site (lanes 5, 6) whereas an unaffected sibling II1 does not (lane 4). In lanes 2 and 3, total genomic DNA (rather than PKD1-specific LR products) of two unrelated normal individuals (NC1 and NC2) was used as template for the exon 18 amplification. Common to both individuals are products of 343, 243, and 100 bp. NC2 (same individual as in lanes 7 and 8) has the additional restriction site present in at least one of his PKD1 homologues. Lane 1 is a negative control amplification that contains only water for template. (C) Sau3AI restriction digestion of exon 20. The sample order is the same as in B. The full-length, undigested PKD1-specific exon 20 product is 233 bp and yields 122 and 111 bp fragments in unaffected individuals (lanes 8 and 7, respectively). The G8021A variant disrupts the Sau3AI site and thus cannot be cleaved with this enzyme. In RAMA96, multiple family members are heterozygous for this variant (lanes 4 through 6). Since the variant is present in both unaffected and affected individuals, it must be on the normal 1-0-Q-8-4 haplotype. The variant also is present in the genomic DNA of two normal control samples (lanes 1 and 2) that did not have the variant in their PKD1-specific exon. This result shows that the variant is present in at least one of the PKD1 homologues.

Mutations G1166S and V1956E disrupt the secondary structure of the PKD1 domain. (A) The top row lists the seven β strands (A–G) that form the two β sheets of the PKD1 domain as defined by Bycroft et al42. The sequence of PKD domains 5 and 14 is presented immediately below with the position of the missense mutation of each indicated by a box. Regions that are thought to have the same conformation as those of PKD domain 1 are shown in upper case letters. Conservative residues are highlighted in bold type. The most conserved sequence in the PKD domains is underlined42. (B) Space-filling model of the first PKD domain (PKD-R1) as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (PDB code: 1B4R)42. The G1166S mutation occurs in PKD-R5 at a critical point in the PKD-R1 structure, G310, where a hairpin turn is formed between βC and βC′. The replacement of glycine by serine is likely to result in a protein folding error in the secondary structure of PKD-R5. The second mutation (V1956E) occurs in PKD-R14 and replaces a highly conserved aliphatic amino acid with glutamic acid. The substitution occurs in the turn region between βF and βG and lies in the likely interface region between PKD-R13 and PKD-R14. The aliphatic group is probably buried in this association. Mutation of this valine to a negatively charged glutamic acid is likely to have a broad impact on the tertiary structure and associations of this region with its neighbors in space.
